John Cooper, Pete Hann and Nigel Graham with Kate Lawrence collecting and supplying suitable building rocks. Jude Vanderplank dropped off 4 bags of sand before returning home to assist Adrian with chainsaw work. Double double mix of cement used building up the lower wall in the South end of the entrance rift to hold back mud. One more session should see the two walls joined up and the top one raised. 1½ hours. John.
